GLOBAL MOP PRICING

ESCALATING SHARPLY

  • High demand in Brazil and the US show little signs of slowing down

  • Spot sales for June/July loading are taking place at US$950 - 1,000/t, with contractual sales at US$590/t

  • Geopolitics will slow Russian growth and bifurcate sales; East will go east, and West will go west

  • Higher European prices continue to be supported by strong crop prices and sanctions

  • Food security and security of supply concerns likely to prevail
